After holding a series of intraclub business meetings, we will have a special guest speaker at this Thursday’s 6:15 p.m. dinner meeting at Quigley’s.

Richard S. Zazycki, executive director of Circles of Mercy, will join us for the evening. Our club  has for a number of years worked to support Circles with holiday adopt-a-family, Easter basket, back-to-school supplies, and other efforts, and Richard will be updating us on our impact and the overall services his organization provides to local families in need.

While some of you have met Richard, many have not, especially our newer members. So, this will be an excellent opportunity to get to know more about this charitable organization whose principles are closely aligned with those of Rotary. Feel free to come armed with questions for him.

The dinner menu will include lasagna, antipasto salad, chef’s choice of sides, bread, dessert, and beverages. As always, the cash bar is available. And, also as always, we need to know how many of you plan to attend and whether you are bringing a guest. So please be sure to let dinner coordinator Debbie Brown know by email (mdbrown@nycap.rr.com) no later than Tuesday evening.
